This class is great and although the writing is very intense and time-consuming, Matt splits it up into parts over the semester which makes it much easier to complete. The course is based on a pilot project that many students develop into their senior thesis. He made the components very clear and was always available to help with the writing and research. It is definitely a bit more challenging than other research methods courses at Middlebury as you have to actually conduct a large portion of research but it is still an enjoyable course!

Matt is awesome! Research methods is definitely not the most exciting of topics in the soc department, but this class was structured really well and I learned a lot. The class is based around a pilot research project where you get to pick your own topic and conduct preliminary research and ends with a research paper.

I quite enjoyed this class, and no class has ever gotten me closer to considering a sociology major. This served not only as a good introductory course, but a specific one, in that you got to understand many of the base topics within sociology while looking at them through a frame you wanted to learn about. Loved prof. Lawrence.
